Me, natch.

princessalbert · 23/01/2014 09:02

Me :)

LightsPlease · 23/01/2014 09:02

That article ridiculous. All are average looking. The arrogance is hilarious.

dozeydoris · 23/01/2014 09:02

Was DH but 30 years on it is me.

MirandaWest · 23/01/2014 09:04

Article was moderately amusing - was glad the first woman could see how arrogant her man was

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 23/01/2014 09:08

That was funny. These people are deluded! Especially fella number one! Crikey.

burnishedsilver · 23/01/2014 09:16

Its like he's looking in the mirror and seeing brad Pitt looking back. He's either living in a fantasy world or he's winding up the reporter as a joke.

Dh and I are much the same looks else except I make more effort than he does.

Beeyump · 23/01/2014 09:19

What a wind up of an article! Funny though, in its way.

Beeyump · 23/01/2014 09:22

'And it's true - we have been blessed by above-average looks and athletic bodies. It's what makes our relationship tick.'

Who says things like that.

Ladyfarquhar · 23/01/2014 09:24

Used to be him now me time had not been kind to him. Or should I say fags and an obsession for work have not been kind. But I still live his craggy face.

DuchessFanny · 23/01/2014 09:28

Well my DH thinks I'm better looking and I think he is. There is a good saying that the uglier you are as a person on the inside ( vain, arrogant, rude, mean ) the uglier you are on the outside and the lovelier you are, the prettier on the outside. I think that's true in a lot of cases when you get to know some people.

Heifer · 23/01/2014 09:53

I'm still laughing at Christian! what a complete self deluded twunt! His wife is stunning and he's below average on the looks department and scrapping the barrel on the personality department!

Re Fliss - do people really worry about how they look as a couple? really?

Tbh neither me or DH is "attractive", we aren't mingers mind, BUT we are nice people and that is far more important to me.

Madasabox · 23/01/2014 09:56

My husband is much better looking than me. He, however, says the reverse is true (he is clearly deluded)

Beeyump · 23/01/2014 09:56

Heifer, don't you know that it's absolutely, utterly normal for a couple to get dressed as a team before they go out? Grin

sassytheFIRST · 23/01/2014 09:57

When we met 20 years ago me, without a doubt.

These days, him. He's grown into his looks. I've just grown old.

Git.

bunnymother · 23/01/2014 10:05

Reading the article, I thought Christian must be hot. No. Not even a little. I wonder if such lack of self awareness must impact other aspects of his life.

As to your question, I would say DH and I won't mention his awesome body, no, as that objectifies him He would say me, but his eyesight must be failing fortunately

Heifer · 23/01/2014 10:06

Beeyump - I thought only Posh and Becks did that :-)

claudeekishi · 23/01/2014 10:10

Oh H is the better-looking by far of the two of us. He's the kind of good-looking that people agree on iykwim - tall, dark, handsome Envy. He doesn't really get this though, and is really not vain at all. He's starting to get salt and pepper in his hair now at nearly 30, and it looks great on him. Fucker.

Umlauf · 23/01/2014 10:12

Definitely DH. Although he'd say me. But objectively, it's him. He's beautiful Grin

Lizzylou · 23/01/2014 10:14

Oh dear lord! Where do they find such idiots? Christian and the Fliss couple are hideous.

We are both equally minging.

Umlauf · 23/01/2014 10:16

That is a hilarious article. I love Vicky!

God what people - not only Christian but also the second couple, you're not as great as you think you are!

Think Dh & I are fairly similar level of attractiveness tho like you sassy, he's improving & I'm degrading.. lucky men.

PacificDogwood · 23/01/2014 10:33

Dh is a much more handsome man than I would ever make.
He'd make a rather strange-looking woman Grin.

Annianni · 23/01/2014 10:34

Dh
But he'd say me.
